Flow monitoring solutions
19 January 2015
The ST50 flow meter from Fluid Components International (FCI) is a cost effective mass flow monitoring solution that is suitable for compressed air flow measurement.

It provides precision flow measurement to reduce the consumption of pneumatic air, helping manufacturing, assembly and process plants reduce air consumables and the energy required to support compressed air systems.
The installation of ST50 flow meters in large facilities with multiple air compressors allows the operators to compare compressor usage and adjust them for optimum efficiencies. In addition, the use of mass flow meters at the point of compressed air output helps to ensure peak performance at a given flow rate. Comparing the performance of multiple air compressors is also useful in predictive maintenance applications where higher flow rates may indicate leaking valves or seals in one unit versus other units operating under similar conditions.
